well, i have a limpet that died and is under all my rockwork and the only way to get him is to remove just about 100 lbs of live rock..,... what would you guys do, leave him for all the scavengers? or stress the fish out big time and remove him? i have a 110 gallon tank so it wont really effect the water quality!

If you have good carnivorous scavengers, just leave it. Unless it's huge, hermits will take care of it easily.

To paraphrase someone on another thread said about the clean-up crew: "they work for you: if they're not cleaning what you want them to, pick them up and put them on the thing you want them to clean." So maybe move a few critters in that direction to speed up the process...

good point! they took care of it also!

I'd suggest doing a spot check on ammonia - if the limpet is HUGE.

yeah i have been, still 0, it would take a large amount of something though to get a 110 gal to have ammonia, the limpet was pretty small.

The best scavengers that can fit any hole are bristle worms!
